speaker system

So, I am looking for a speaker system that I can hear at highway speeds 75-80. No faring, but have windshield.

I have tried the HD boom system and the sound is awful.

I am not an audio person so I am looking for help and advice. I believe that I will have to go larger than a 3" speaker for the handlebar/crash bar in order to get decent sound.

Thoughts/Comments?

Thanks!

iPod w/ear buds that have foam. Best sounding system you'll ever get at highway speeds. Plus you don't have to annoy other people around you.

To be fair, the Series 3 system is a very solid system and I am sure it would work on a quieter bike.

In my state it's only legal to ride with one earbud in, so I usually do that and pop an earplug in the other one.

I use harley handle bar set up looks good but the sound could be better ,pricey at $400.00 and at highway speeds it hard to hear the volume is there but it sound quality lacks. Beats humming to myself born to be wild.
